You are obviously very thoughtful on the subject of the question of "the nature of the interaction between matter and space?" What might it be?
I would ask you to look at it this way. How many prospects for uncovering its nature are you aware of? Prospects that lead to straightforward questions, that resemble a useful line of inquiry?
String theory, quantum loop gravity, 4D quasicrystal lattice spacetime structure, etc etc. What kind of straightforward questions or answers do these avenues of inquiry lend themselves too? The answer is, nothing straightforward. And further more, these have been tested over time and while not being inquiries which are exhausted, theyre contribution to our improved awareness has been marginal.
The idea that an energy field of space Auv, provides the ability for Tuv atomic force to act, is a straightforward hypothesis, which can be tested with straightforward deductions and questions. Why not test this idea, while there are so few other prospects on the table? Is there no time in our schedules for this pursuit?
A test might look like this.
How would Tuv atomic forces dependence on value of Auv elemental field, conform to General Relativity's concept of spacetime?
When we place an atomic clock in a satellite and measure time dilation, (General Relativity) increasing frequency proportional to altitude from Earth, we are taking a direct measure of an atomic electromagnetic process. EM being a fundamental force. In effect, this indicates that the rate at which fundamental forces express themselves is effected by the environment of space, and relative proximity to mass.
If there is an Auv elemental field of space which provides the energy for atomic forces to act, and this Auv field energy has a variable energy density depending on local demands being placed on it by mass, then the frequency of EM processes might indeed change proportionality, and depended on the available value of Auv energy density.
If we as humans experience the rate of causality as time, and it is the rate of electromagnetism that modulates the rate of causality, then my idea conceptually conforms to GR's spacetime concept.
Look at it this way.
The conventional approach is forced to view the flow of time and the actions of atomic forces in two separate parts. 1. First it just excepts that EM in the case of atomic processors can move with perpetual motion without cause, as a given. And that it can undertake work for which a cause or input cannot be determined, as a given. How can EM move and work, remain unanswered? And 2. Time is a second component within the conventional view, that is not considered to give a reason why EM forces can act, but only prescribes an ability to modulate the rate at which EM acts. Effecting the rate of causality.
So the point being. Conceptually this means the reason why fundamental forces can act in the first instance, and the reason why time can modulate its rate in the case of atomic processes, are two independent considerations. Youre forced to say, an unknown process allows fundamental forces to act in the first instance, and time can affect the rate at which these process can act as a second secondary effect.
My hypothesis doesn't suffer this disconnect. It simply states, variable energy density of Auv space environment, allows for a variable rate of expression of fundamental forces. The rate that fundamental forces operate at, is the rate of causality, which we infer and experience as rate of time. So I can enjoy the simple conceptualization, that the process that allows fundamental forces to act in the first instance, and also that which modulates its variable rate of expression in the second instance, is infact the same reason as one another.
EM variable rate of causality (time) is dictated by the same process that allows fundamental forces to act. Simple. This is how my concept conforms to GR space time.
